Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 by Jon Paulette Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Ready for your road trip Whether you're listening to your favorite music or enjoying an audiobook, you'll be impressed by the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 CD receiver's combination of performance and features. You can customize the illumination color to match your vehicle's lighting. Pair up your phone with this Kenwood, and you'll be able to take calls in your car with a touch of a button. Best of all, you also get the security of Kenwood Excelon's remarkable 2-year warranty. Built-in Bluetooth® Once you drive with a Bluetooth receiver, you'll wonder how you ever drove without one. Just plug your iPhone® into this receiver's USB port, and the receiver does the rest – one-button pairing means no more confusing menus to wade through. If your iPhone has Siri, you'll be able to talk to her through the external mic and hear her instructions through your car's speakers. You can also use your Bluetooth connection to stream audio to the receiver from just about any Bluetooth-equipped device. Plenty of entertainment options The convenient front-panel auxiliary and USB inputs give you access to plenty of other listening options. When you plug in your iPod® or iPhone®, you'll enjoy quick navigation of your playlists and albums. Plus, if you listen to Pandora® Internet radio with your iPhone, you won't miss a beat when you plug it into this Kenwood with its dedicated Pandora controls. Android and Blackberry owners can enjoy listening to and controlling Pandora using their Bluetooth connection to the receiver. When you're not listening to drive-time radio, slip in a CD to take advantage of this receiver's 24-bit digital-to-analog converter. It converts the raw data on your disc, including MP3, WMA, and AAC files, to smooth, lifelike sound, and it'll make a big difference in the music on your iPod or thumb drive, too. If you store your music on an Android device, download the free Kenwood Music Control app and enjoy a variety of search and playback features when your phone is plugged into the front-panel USB. For satellite radio subscribers (or those who plan to be), the KDC-X597 works with SiriusXM's outboard tuner (not included), so you can enjoy coast-to-coast reception of your favorite talk, sports, and music programming. Shape your sound Wimpy bass and treble controls can't compare with the KDC-X597's 3-band parametric equalizer, high- and low-pass filters, and selectable bass boost, along with settings that let you adjust for your car's speaker setup. And don't forget another Excelon sound advantage. If you're building a car audio system, one of the keys to the getting the most out of your amplifiers is a clean, powerful signal from your preamp outputs. All Kenwood Excelon receivers feature 4-volt preamp outputs that will give your amps the strong signal they need for top performance. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Audio Section Built-in Bluetooth iPod/Android/AUX Integration AM/FM+Pandora+SiriusXM Radio Disc & USB Playback Display Features Remote ControlAudio Section Excelon Series: The KDC-X597 CD receiver is part of Kenwood's Excelon series line-up. It incorporates the latest technologies and delivers the highest sonic performance. From advanced audio tuning capabilities, crossover and equalizer system, high-voltage preouts (4V), and a two-year warranty - Kenwood Excelon represents exceptional audio quality with long-lasting dependability. 24 Bit D/A Converter: The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the KDC-X597 are as follows: Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD) Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels 6ch/4V Preamp Outputs: The KDC-X597 features front, rear and subwoofer 4.0-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs are fixed to the rear chassis of the head unit. Front & Rear High-Pass Filter: The KDC-X597 features a High-Pass Crossover for the front & rear channels when your front & rear speakers are connected by the unit's speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust the high-pass crossover from "Through", 100, 120, or 150 Hz. The "Through" selection is a full-range setting. Subwoofer Controls: The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 offers the following subwoofer controls, when you are using unit's subwoofer preamp output. Low Pass Filter: The receiver features a built-in Low Pass Filter control for the preamp-output, when the output is set to Subwoofer. You can select from 85 Hz, 120 Hz, 160 Hz, or off. Subwoofer Phase: You can adjust the phase of the subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal). Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level (-15 to +15) from the CD receiver. Speaker Settings: The Speaker Setting function tailors the head unit's audio settings according to the type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off' (flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6" and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers). EQ Pro: The KDC-X597 is equipped with Kenwood's EQ Pro. The integrated equalizer offers 8 preset sound modes (Natural, Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Powerful, and User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 3-band parametric EQ (Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor). EQ Pro Frequency Level Q Bass 60, 80, 100, 200 Hz -8 to +8 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 kHz -8 to +8 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 kHz -8 to +8 Fixed Note: You can store EQ Pro bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (Disc, Tuner, Aux, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, and Pandora). Sound Enhancements: The head unit provides further sound enhancements for your car audio system. Bass Boost: The Kenwood CD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2, BB3, or Off). Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off). Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file. Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux source). Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Matt Freeman Staff Writer - Creative, Quick Bluetooth pairing Written by Matt Freeman, Staff Writer - Creative, on 10/10/2013 2:36:00 PM Not too long ago, we helped a teen install his very first car stereo (he loved the experience, and was blown away by the result). The KDC-X597 was right in his wheelhouse: not too expensive, yet packed with cool features. It was the first time I'd gotten to play with one of these models, and I have to say, more than anything else, I was blown away by the quickness of the Bluetooth® phone pairing. Some older stereos make you jump through the hoops of multiple menus to pair your phone. Not so this one. All he had to do was press one button, and boom — the stereo found his iPhone 4S and set the verification code. One tap on the phone's screen and that was it. In just a few seconds, he was talking. Simplicity like this is great to find, because less time setting up means more time having fun.

Love how easy it was to install the radio. Sounds great too. Pros: Complete replacement. Everything was included including instruction. After connecting together the wiring harnesses the installation went very smoothly. Cons: Nothing yet. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 2007 Honda CR-V EX Written By Gordon, Ann Arbor, MI on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 This was my first try at replacing a receiver but since I'm kind of handy at other similar projects, I decided to give it a try and it wasn't too bad. The toughest challenge was disassembling the dash panel without damaging anything. Once that was accomplished, everything else went fairly smoothly although I did need to contact Crutchfield when my AM reception wasn't very good. Turns out I screwed up the antenna adapter wiring. Having wired all of the "same color" speaker wires together , I just went ahead and wired the blue antenna adapter wire to the solid blue receiver wire marked "Ant Cont" without thinking too much about it. The instructions said that the appropriate wire would be Blue or Blue/White so I went with the Blue choice especially since it was marked "Ant Cont". Wrong answer. It's actually the Blue/White "P. Cont" wire which supplies the necessary power to the powered antenna in my CR-V. Once that was corrected, AM and FM reception was great. I also really like the BT Audio and Pandora features which make phone connections wireless. Pros: Great sound and features especially for the price. Cons: The large volume control knob doesn't control the power on/off which takes a while to get used to. It's easy to accidentally press the face release button which is directly below the "return" button which is small as are other buttons so it's easy to press the wrong button if you're not careful.

This stereo has everything that I wanted in a new system. I replaced my factory stereo in my 1996 Chrysler Seabring JX Convertible. The blue tooth pairing with my phone is perfect! I can now take and recieve calls, even when the top is down. That is a DEFINITE plus living in sunny South West Florida! I've only had to refer to the manual once since the install, to figure out how anything works. Thank you Kenwood for making a great car stereo, and THANK YOU Crutchfield for selling it with everything I needed to install it in my car, and for including everything that I needed to make it work. I'll be installing the new Kenwood KFC 1665S speakers to get the best sound out of the stereo! Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor"

Cancer of the throat is cancer of the vocal cords, voice box (larynx), or other areas of the throat.
Vocal cord cancer; Throat cancer; Laryngeal cancer; Cancer of the glottis
People who smoke or use tobacco are at risk of developing throat cancer. Excessive alcohol use
also increases risk. Smoking and drinking alcohol combined lead to an increased risk for throat cancers.
Most cancers of the throat develop in adults older than 50. Men are 10 times more likely than women to develop throat cancers.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This may show a lump on the outside of the neck.
The doctor may look in your throat or nose using a flexible tube with a small camera at the end.
Other may include:
The goal of treatment is to completely remove the cancer
and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body.
When the tumor is small, either surgery or radiation therapy alone can be used to remove the tumor.
When the tumor is larger or has spread to lymph nodes in the neck, a combination of radiation and chemotherapy is often used to preserve the voice box.
Some patients need surgery to remove the tumor, including all or part of the vocal cords (laryngectomy). If you have a laryngectomy, speech therapy can help you learn other ways to talk.
Many patients also need swallowing therapy after treatment to help them adjust to the changes in the structure of the throat.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group of people who share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group
Throat cancers can be cured in 90% of patients if detected early. If the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or lymph nodes in the neck, 50 - 60% of patients can be cured. If the cancer has spread (metastasized) to parts of the body outside the head and neck, the cancer is not curable and treatment is aimed at prolonging and improving quality of life.
After treatment, patients generally need therapy to help with speech and swallowing. A small percentage of patients (5%) will not be able to swallow and will need to be fed through a feeding tube.
Call your health care provider if:
Avoid smoking and other tobacco exposure. Limit or avoid alcohol use.

Last week, I took a look at a prospective roster for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes and enjoyed the process enough that I thought I'd do the same thing for the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts, in no small part because this pitching staff has the potential to be loaded with talent. It helps, of course, that the Dodgers tend to keep their pitching prospects in Chattanooga and skip them straight to Los Angeles, rather than promoting them to the high altitudes of the PCL. Though the Isotopes are in the "highest" league, Double-A often has more talent, since so many clubs use Triple-A as something of a Quad-A dumping ground for fill-in veterans as needed.
In a lot of ways, trying to predict the Double-A team is more of a crapshoot, both because it's tough to guess how the organization sees a young player who could either start at Hi-A or Double-A, and also because in many ways, it's a simple numbers game as far as spots available. On the other hand, you generally don't have to worry about 15 non-roster invite veterans floating around like you do with the Triple-A club. Obviously, this is just a best guess because injuries and trades can and will happen, and it can also be sometimes difficult to find updated information on some of the older players who may be minor league free agents, so I'm sure there's at least one position here where I've completely whiffed on someone.
And before you ask, no, there's no shot I'm going to keep going and try to look at what the lineups could be at Rancho Cucamonga or Great Lakes.
C: Gorman Erickson – who some prospect hounds prefer to Tim Federowicz – had something of a breakout season in 2011, most of which was spent at Rancho Cucamonga. After 157 plate appearances with the Lookouts, he should return there in 2012, though it's not unreasonable to think he could be in Albuquerque later in the season if big-league injuries force Federowicz to be recalled ahead of schedule. Matt Wallach, who like Erickson was invited to the club's developmental camp at Dodger Stadium, should also return after spending most of 2011 with the club. I suppose that means that J.T. Wise, 26 in June, may have to return to Rancho Cucamonga at least to start the season; he probably deserves a promotion, though you feel less bad for him when you look at his home/road splits.
1B: Scott Van Slyke should be headed to Albuquerque, so first base for the Lookouts could be something of a share between 2011 star Angelo Songco (29 homers at 22 in Hi-A) and Austin Gallagher, also coming off a good year for the Quakes. Songco will probably split his time between first and left field, so Brian Cavazos-Galvez, like Songco an outfielder who plays first, may see time here as well – though I expect him to make it to Albuquerque at some point this year.
2B: Jaime Pedroza has spent most of the last two seasons in Chattanooga, but since there's not much room in the Triple-A infield with Ivan DeJesus, Jr. and Justin Sellers likely starting there, he's probably coming back for year #3. He might be stuck in a numbers crunch moving up, but it's not like there's much behind him yet; last year's Rancho second baseman, Rafael Ynoa, had just a .697 OPS despite playing in a high-offense league, so I expect him to repeat Hi-A.
3B: The hot corner is a mess. Sound familiar? The primary third baseman last year was Travis Denker, who keeps putting up superficially good stats but has been in five organizations in the last four seasons and was outright released by Seattle in 2010. Behind him was Corey Smith, a fun story at 29 who finally made it up to Triple-A, and Pedro Baez, who continued his long string of disappointing play before missing much of the season with a shoulder injury. If healthy, Baez should see plenty of time, though keep an eye out for second baseman-turned-catcher-turned-third baseman Tony Delmonico, who had a .387 OBP for Rancho in his first fully healthy season since 2009.
SS: Chattanooga's primary shortstop last year was 28-year-old Ivan Ochoa, who hit a robust .233/.309/.326 for the Lookouts before becoming a minor league free agent. I think it's safe to say he won't be back; far more interesting is Jake Lemmerman, who struggled in a brief Double-A cameo near the end of the year after producing well in rookie ball and Rancho. The 2010 fifth-round pick should be the main Lookout shortstop for most of the season, and with Dee Gordon in the bigs and DeJesus lost in the Twilight Zone, Lemmerman is the top-rated middle infield prospect in the system.
LF: With Van Slyke, Alfredo Silverio, Kyle Russell, and Alex Castellanos all probably headed to New Mexico, the Lookouts could be starting just about from scratch in the outfield. Songco should see some time here, unless the organization now considers him strictly a first baseman, and Cavasos-Galvez will get some looks as well.
CF: Nick Buss. That's all there is, and while he's coming off a good season in Hi-A, he didn't even make the honorable mention in John Sickels' top 20 prospects list. Sure, Anthony Jackson – yes, the guy they got for Octavio Dotel – could be back, but who really cares? At this level, center field is something of a hole. Fortunately, the big club has that spot filled for the next eight years or so.
RF: Blake Smith, subject of a nice profile at LA Dodger Report this week, will move up after a big 2011 in what should be a very interesting season as far as determining what sort of prospect he's going to be.
Others: The Lookouts had a pair of multi-positional non-prospects in Elian Herrera and Wilberto Ortiz, who could each return, and similar type Ramon Jean might move up. It's also possible that outfielder Tyler Henson lands here. Henson was acquired from Baltimore in the Dana Eveland trade, and while I'll admit that I completely forgot about him when I was writing about Albuquerque despite the fact he had 498 Triple-A plate appearances last year, he was also pretty awful for Norfolk and may be the victim of a numbers game in Albuquerque, considering how many outfielders Chattanooga is likely to send up.
Starting Pitching
Now we're talking, because the Lookout staff is the strength of the team and arguably of the entire system. Three-fifths of the main 2011 rotation – Michael Antonini, Will Savage, and Nathan Eovaldi – probably aren't coming back, but that's okay, because there's better talent coming. As always, these are educated guesses, because spring performances, injuries, or other trades could impact placements up to Triple-A or down to Hi-A.
SP1: Allen Webster, 22 in February, made 17 starts for Chattanooga last year and ended up with an unsightly 5.04 ERA. That's somewhat inflated by three poor August starts (20 ER in three games), because otherwise he was very good, and is still highly regarded enough that he's #3 on Sickels' list. It's not out of the question that he could be seen in Dodger Stadium as soon as late 2012 – he's three days older than Eovaldi – so this is a big year for him.
SP2: Yep, Chris Withrow is still here, ready for his fourth season in Double-A unless the club decides to let him sink or swim and push him to Albuquerque. While this isn't exactly the career path anyone expected from the 2007 first rounder, the talent is still clearly there (130 strikeouts in 128 innings pitched last year) and he won't even be 23 until April. It's not a huge leap to think that he finally puts it together and makes it to the bigs; conversely, it's not hard to see him flaming out completely.
SP3: I wasn't a huge fan of Stephen Fife when he came over in the Trayvon Robinson deal, and I'm still not, really; the dwindling strikeout rates are a big concern. It's possible he gets bumped up to Triple-A after spending the last two years in Double-A for Boston before a small look in Chattanooga, though we know how the Dodgers feel about young pitchers there. He, like Webster and Withrow, was invited to the offseason developmental camp; I'm guessing he at least starts out here.
SP4: There could be a few names here – we'll get to those in a minute – but for the moment, I'll go with Jon Michael Redding, who increased his K/9 rate from 5.4 to 8.5 while repeating Hi-A. Redding isn't really considered a major prospect, though I'm intrigued by a starter who strikes people out while allowing just nine homers in 137 innings in the pinball California League.
SP5: Please. Half the teams in the bigs don't know who their #5 starter is, and you want to know who it might be from a Double-A club? Let's go with "an ever-changing cast of characters". Matt Magill probably deserves a promotion from Hi-A; the team's most recent two first rounders, Zach Lee & Chris Reed, could each make it here later on in 2012, and Rubby De La Rosa could return to rehab his elbow surgery. I'll also throw out an interesting name – Red Patterson, who was a 29th rounder in 2010 but has struck out nearly four times as many as he's walked and will be 25 in May. Lee's 2011 teammates Garrett Gould and Angel Sanchez were very impressive last year, but probably won't jump two levels so quickly.
Relief Pitching
In addition to starters De La Rosa and Eovaldi, the Dodgers plucked Javy Guerra and Josh Lindblom from Double-A in 2011. That doesn't appear to be a fluke, because the Lookouts bullpen is going to be stocked with more than a few interesting arms in 2012. Chief among them are Shawn Tolleson, who blew through three levels in 2011, striking out 105 in 69 innings, and Steve Ames, who has 169 whiffs in 105 career innings. Both are invited to the offseason camp along with Josh Wall, a converted starter making a painfully slow path up the ladder, as this will be his eighth minor league season. Another former starter is Ethan Martin, the 2008 first rounder who looks to finally have moved to the bullpen. (Hey, maybe they can move him back to third base and finally put Baez on the mound where he belongs.) Like Martin and Withrow, 2009 first-rounder Aaron Miller has struggled and may or may not still be tried as a starter; either way, he's probably in Double-A. Cole St. Clair, Logan Bawcom, and Javier Solano should also see plenty of time, plus the usual other names that come up from Hi-A throughout the season as this bullpen gets raided to support the big club.
There's a few interesting names on offense – Erickson, Songco, Lemmerman, Smith, but for the most part, the talent here is concentrated on the mound. That alone makes the Lookouts interesting, since it's so overwhelmingly likely we see a few of these arms make it to Dodger Stadium at some point this year.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.

The British seized Gibraltar in 1704. Four centuries later, the Brits are still squatting on Spanish land, a 2.5 miles long and three-quarter mile wide isthmus jutting into the Mediterranean.
The UN General Assembly approved decolonization of the "Rock" in 1963. Yet the 28,000 Britishers in Gibraltar voted —hardly a surprise — to remain part of the British Empire.
Spineless Britain cannot say nay to a "vote of the people" so it perpetuates a colonial anachronism. It is the only such territory in Europe. Ditto for the Malvinas (Falklands), an archipelago of two large islands and 776 smaller ones on Argentina soil in the Strait of Magellan.
At various times, the island chain has had French, British, Spanish and Argentine settlements. But Britain declared ownership in 1833. A dispute flared in the 1950s when Argentine ruler Juan Peron asserted Argentine sovereignty. Britain was unmoved.
Then in the 1960s tension increased again when the UN passed a resolution on decolonization. But negotiations never got anywhere because the Brits insisted they were the rightful sovereigns. It took the position that since the Falkland Islanders — all 3,000 of them! — did not want a change there was no reason to do so.
The Falkland residents prevailed over justice.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain guaranteed the seizure with a mini-war in 1982. This latter-day colonialism was so macho the warmongering Brits re-elected a reactionary ruler.
The UK Guardian, liberal-leftist newspaper, dared to call the islands by their real name: Malvinas. For that truth-telling it was denounced in Britain for "defying national pride."
Pocket stuffer' loses
We have a do-nothing Congress but occasionally some of its committees do something wonderful like opposing Larry Summers in his bid to become chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.
The result: he withdrew after the Senate Banking Committee made it plain that it contained too many no votes.
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was among the key committee members leading the opposition. She is one of the precious few genuine liberals in the Senate, worthy of being the first woman president of the United States. (Which is why she never will be president.)
The Summers withdrawal opens the way for Janet Yellen, Fed vice-chair, to succeed Ben Bernanke.
Summers was one of President Obama's economic advisers, serving government but preferring "to stuff his pockets" in the private sector. As columnist Maureen Dowd put it: "He is an exemplar of the obscenely lucrative revolving-door problem, part of the culture that ran the economy into the ground."
That culture espoused Wall Street deregulation, bailouts for bankers who were "too big to fail" and outsourcing.
Summers, speaking to world business leaders in 2011, said they should not oppose offshoring. He likened critics to "Luddites who took axes to machinery early in England's industrial revolution."
U.S. firms are able to sell products cheaply because they are produced overseas. Workers there make something like 35 cents an hour and are terribly overworked. Out-sourced products are shoddy.
I bought a pair of slippers made in China. In several weeks the seams began to unravel. Soon they disintegrated into a worthless mess. I bought some belts made in Thailand. They gleamed but were stiff, containing more cardboard than leather.
Better to pay more for merchandise than buy shabby goods.

Animal Farm
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1990 - Fiction - 124 pages
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of most telling satiric fables ever penned - a-razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch part-time for more than a year
Pros – I was recruited, and started working there sooner than I knew it. It was a very high volume, upbeat store that was usually busy which is good because it keeps you busy.
Cons – Sometimes the volume of the music and the store being sprayed so heavily would interfere with the customers shopping experience.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop staring at 17 year old girls.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

4921 Jefferson NE, Albuquerque, NM | Directions 8710935.13988 -106.596025

Neighborhoods: Northeast
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.
Well Worth the price – I have lived here most of my life, I was in Houston for over three years. I have yet to find a steakhouse here that equals the ones in Texas, but for Albuquerque and the quality of meat you get in this town, Outback by far exceeds the average and totally leaves the local "steak houses" in town far behind. It is a busy place if you dine too late in the evening, seating might be a hassle, but better to wait for quality food than be seated right away for something you'll be regratting in the morning. The waiting staff is very polite and as prompt as can be expected as busy as they usally are.
Overpriced. – Yea, yea, everyone is enchanted by all things Australian but is it worth an extra $10 a person to talk to someone with an Australian accent? The food is good but the prices are just way too high for what you get. Service is spotty and fake.
Terrible Steak! – I don't get all the hype about Outback. The steak is dry and other items on the menu are boring and typical of a chain restaurant. It is way over priced! Plus the wait to be seated is rediculous. And, the "call ahead seating" is worthless. I called ahead and they said it was a 20 minute wait and our name would be put down right now. We arrived (20 minutes later) and were told we would have to wait 1 hour!!! We left!
eh... – Not bad for the same thing you get at every Outback. To me it seems like just the same old steak you get everywhere. Service is scattered and the atmosphere is very hurried and busy. Their steak was somewhat bland. I do like the bread they bring out before your meal. It's easy to fill up on that so you don't realize how small the meal is. Overall, what you get is not worth the price and the wait.
YAHOO...STEAK !!! – No steak sauce required. Marinated just right. Delicious steaks. Great for an evening dinner. Not recommended for children; no place for them to play. Plus, when they tend to be too restless, they can be distracting to others trying to eat a great meal. More on the expensive side, but great steaks. Packed on weekends and evenings like Fridays or Saturdays. Call ahead for seating. Your wait can be up to an hour at times.
this place rocks – the steaks are great here. Even well done your teeth sink right through it.
everything on the menu is amazing, and the staff is great
Its ok – Their steaks were good, just not the best in town. The service was ok. I just cant see why there is such a big deal made out of such an average steak house. Their food isnt anything better then most in town.
Good for ALL special occasions. – We always go to the Outback for special occasions -- birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's/Father's Day, holidays, etc. We have never been disappointed. The only time we had to wait *too* long to be seated was Valentine's Day (you can't reserve - although you can now "call ahead"). Items of special note: Gold Cost Shrimp, House Sirloin, Alice Springs Chicken, Ribs. We have tried most items on the menu and love them all. Best Caesar salad in town. I could go on forever - try it, you'll definitely like it.

Derek Lam
Fashion wunderkind Derek Lam designs women's clothing and accessories that epitomize contemporary sophistication. Born and raised in San Francisco, Lam descends from a long line of garment manufacturers and importers, and spent his childhood admiring the seamstress' handiwork in his grandparents' factory. After graduating from Parsons, he worked under iconic designer Michael Kors; his own eponymous label, launched in 2003, updated his mentor's thoroughly modern brand of jet-set chic by adding elements such as girlish prints and nostalgic silhouettes. Lam's award-winning shoes, handbags, eyeglasses and sunglasses have appeared in Women's Wear Daily, Vogue, Town & Country and Elle as well as the halls of museums worldwide. In 2011 Lam launched 10 Crosby, a popular diffusion line featuring elegant silk tops, little black dresses, and other wardrobe staples.
